National Volunteer Week | April 17 - Meet Lori Roes

National Volunteer week is upon us! The Strathmore & District Agricultural Society would like to take this time to highlight some of our outstanding volunteers that help us out!

Today we would like to introduce you to Lori Roes! Lori has been a long time volunteer with the Strathmore Stampede. Her volunteer experience first started in Admissions where she assisted in wristbanding the guests as they came through the grounds. From there Lori transitioned to selling 50/50 throughout the weekend. We asked Lori a few questions about her experience volunteering & why she thinks it’s important.

1. What attracted you to volunteering at the Strathmore Stampede?

“I have loved and attended the Heritage Days Stamped in Strathmore for nearly 40 year. The atmosphere and small town feel is so much fun, and being inches away from the action is second to none.”

2. What motivates you to stay involved?

“Seeing the rodeo and chuckwagons yearly is a huge bonus [to volunteering]. Getting to see friends and acquaintances throughout the weekend is probably my biggest motivation. Heritage Days brings in thousands of people from near and far that I look forward to seeing every year”

3. Why do you volunteer?

“I volunteer as a way to give back to my town. I love being a part of such a great weekend”

4. What other organizations or causes do you support?

“I have volunteered for the Senior Games that were held in Strathmore, the Christmas Hamper Society and volunteer weekly at the Wheatland County Foodbank”
